Kaddie,

I installed compiz on my Sabayon 8 xfce. Do you know how to set it where compiz starts when you boot up the comp????

@theRaven131

I don't hvae xfce anymore... but i'm sure there was an "autostart" gui for setting it up where you can tick compiz......

@theRaven131

yeah what BelaFleckFan said... I forgot I used fusion-icon for this.... that is the easiest way... install fusion-icon, select compiz/emerald etc.... then add "fusion-icon" to autostart in the session/startup gui

Hey I am in serious trouble. Can you please help me what programs do you use to record your desktop? I used Desktop Recorder and the output was fine. When I tried to convert it with devede and uploaded it on youtube, the quality was very bad and there were also black sqaures on the converted file. Your video quailty is great.

Forget that... just use ffmpeg in a terminal window.... /watch?v=BuKo0l3ZfEE&feature=w­atch_response

Question concerning XFCE. I have been using mainly gnome, and would just like to know if the same or equivalent programs are available for XFCE also. Also if it matters, I'm using Arch.

@chrnoc

xfce is built upon gtk. Gnome is built upon gtk... a library native app to gnome is native to xfce.... in saying that... It doesn't matter if you use gtk or qt (kde) apps etc... they all work flawlessly on any setup with eachother

[BelaFleckFan]

@theRaven131 2 ways I can think of, session and startup / application autostart / add name compiz Command /usr/bin/compiz

Or the safest way with xfce is to install fusion-icon then session and startup / application autostart / add name compiz Command fusion-icon

[actionpackedPIVII]

@theRaven131 you can go into "settings manager" --> "Session and startup" --> autostart and then create a new entry with the command "compiz --replace" without the quotes of course :)

@Linux4UnMe Really?? I should have done some more research on the matter.

Thank you, time allowing and if I am able to get laziness out of the way I think I will try the other ones.
